Hi Heather...completely agree. The information about long term commitment came from the airport's own website. "I am delighted to join Leeds Bradford Airport and look forward to working with the team to grow the airport long-term and deliver a high-quality service experience. I know what a...

In the period since Charlie Cornish has been CEO at MAG we have now had four CEO's. I think a key difference is that the board at MAG have predominantly made Manchester their home. The sign that a ceo is committed, long term, to a job is if they move their main residence or partner/family to...

Here's a thought...would Jet 2 buy LBA?

This is all about return on investment and getting airlines in. Investment is brilliant but its the airlines that need to be brought in to recoup the sizeable investment costs that will really matter for an equity company. With the terminal investment we need 2 or 3 addiyional base airlines...

Yes, Hywel ( from the one time I met him) seemed very nice. It bemuses business partners ....the continual revolving door of Executives and staff. Jet 2 has kept the same people for years. Its just not good in terms of business continuity and relationship building. Alongside the new broom...

You'd have been brilliant WH...you're proactively is way better than what is being demonstrated by LBA now.

Completely agree...WH should take over LBA marketing! Part of the issue over the years is that whilst Jet 2 has had robust marketing and hence its stellar growth, LBA's marketing has been pretty mediocre. The turnover of staff ( at all levels ) and now redundancies at lba meant there has been...

Has anyone else had notification that their travel insurance (.through their bank...in this case hsbc) has been amended to basically put loads of exclusions in place if you are staying in a country which could potentially be ( they call it pandemic) lockdowned or have travel restrictions put...

The premise of business flights, they have to be regular, frequent , reliable with a high volume of rotations ...its a difficult market to serve, and costly. ABZ was a good route...until the oil industry traffic decreased and I think EXT is also more leisure as there isn't really a massive...

Yes, I think LBA's success will be based on leisure flights.

All is well with the world, our esteemed council leader, Judith Blake, who has driven this city forward ( i'm being satirical!) Is leaving the council after being given a peerage this week...probably in recognition of the work she's done; driving aviation development and tourism forward in...

I'm just so worried about my job...this can't continue. So many countries banning us from entering from UK. Watched the news last night and Wuhan back to normal. Where did the UK go so wrong that we have ended up the sick person of Europe!

Now if students really wanted to be environmentally friendly and reduce their carbon footptint they should stay at home and go to.their local Uni.

I have shared with a large company at LBA! To be honest we are doing well. Dont worry everyone. this is about quality of arguments rather than quantity and LBA have a great economic case. For the housing development at Bramhope they got 1000's of signatures of verifiable local people on the...

Simply the quality of Executive and councillors at Manchester who decided to drive it to be the best City in the North. They chose bold and driven entrepreneurs to be their chief execs ( eg Bernstein ), and it showed. We chose Tom Riordon a career public sector bod who previously worked at the...

I've shared with colleagues at work today.

Brilliant, thanks WH.

I stand by what WH said...anything posted or sent out in our name should go via the airport. I work for a business partner and I can tell you are really passionate, so why dont you go the airport management and pass some ideas via them? Business partners have kept away from the hands on strategy...

A statement of our support as a press release is a great idea...but please go via LBA if it's anything else. They will tell you if it's appropriate, factual information ..anything that's published ultimately becomes the legal responsibility of the person who has sent it. If it's a good story...

...but let's leave any other stories to LBA to verify and do at this stage.
